Yiquing Xu

My father died of colon cancer in 2009, he was under the treatment of Doctor Yiquing Xu in Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn NY.
My father was 64 years old when he dies of cancer, he had a short battle with cancer and only lived months.
Dr. Xu was a heartless, cold, inconsiderate and unreachable physician, she was short with us and had no time to explain what was happening with my father and was very rude when I inquired about her treatment for him. She would explain it to my father, whom was drugged up with pain killers and chemo and expected him to fully comprehend what she and her team were doing. When I would ask her to explain it to me she was hesitant and seemed not sympathetic that I was across the country and trying to understand what was happening to him.
We needed her to agree to switch medical insurances so he can get Medicaid and be able to see another doctor at Sloan Kettering, she kept hesitating and would not agree to it, she felt he didn’t need to see another doctor or get a second opinion. After calling and inquiring many time over and over again, she finally agreed to it but it was too late my father passed away.
During the last few weeks, his pain was so bad and he was suffering yet she refused to give him morphine or a reference to pain management doctor. My father was in really bad condition and she and her office refused to see him before his regularly scheduled chemo appointment. I took him to his final chemo appointment and they could not give him chemo because he was in such bad state, finally she saw him and said we needed to take him to ER, how very observant of her, which we did he stayed in the hospital for ten days, she never came to see him, until the very last day we were taking him home. No one at Maimonides hospital would tell us, what they were doing to him or update us on what was happening with him.
They kept performing costly spinal test, without ever telling us why or what the results were. They had in a horrible room the whole ten days, while he was at Maimonides hospital, other patients were in a special ward which had nicer rooms and better maintained on the other side of the hall, I guess they were paying cash.
Neither Maimonides, nor Doctor Xu, they did not care or valued my father’s life and quality of life, but to me, my sister and my mom he was our beloved dad who’d sacrificed his life and everything for us, and was a good human being whom was a gentle and kind person whom was too polite and modest to demand anything.
Dr Xu’s and all of the horrible staff at Maimonides hospital should find a different career, they are not suited to care for the sick and dying.
They don’t have any compassion or care.
